What is the role of Acrab-TolC multidrug efflux pump in drug resistance acquisition by plasmid transfer?
In the presence of translation-inhibiting antibiotics, resistance acquisition depends on the AcrAB-TolC multidrug efflux pump, because it reduces tetracycline concentrations in the cell. Protein synthesis can thus persist and TetA expression can be initiated immediately after plasmid acquisition.May 24, 2019
